Bible Studies

Blend Bible Studies

(Leaders: Jamie Rutledge, Julie Payne and Sandy Bohlen)

A blend of women gathering to know God’s transforming Word through Bible study and fellowship in an encouraging, supportive environment that helps you experience Christ intimately. Everyone is welcome, no matter which church you do or do not attend. BLEND Women's Bible Studies are offered in the fall and spring on Mondays at either 9:00 a.m. or 6:00 p.m. Childcare is provided at the morning sessions, but you must pre-register. Check back soon for more information on how to register and find a complete list of studies being offered. Please come and join us!

Wednesday Night Bible Study

(Facilitator: Sharon Riddle)

Our Wednesday night Bible study group is a close, but expanding community of women who are passionate for God, big-hearted/faith-breathing for reaching the world and expressing love for each other, who often stir up a ruckus through prayer. Being in the Word, year-round, is good for achieving lives that are “constantly nourished” (1 Tim. 4:6) We know that when we often “hear” the Word and respond to it, our lives are promised fruitfulness that nourishes and blesses those entrusted to us. Hebrews 6:7 For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God!

*Snacks are optional, but laughter and love are mandatory. For more information on current studies, please email

(Leaders: Julie Payne and Celina Muckenfuss)

A unique quarterly gathering of women from all ages and walks of life to share dinner, worship and inspiration from relatable guest speakers addressing the common needs of women everywhere. Tickets are $15 and available at the church office or in the foyer on Sunday in between services. Check the events tab for future dates.

Dessert & Design

(Leaders: Whitnee Chovanec & Courtney Stephens)

Want to be a part of a fun time of creativity and fellowship? Are you crafty with a little swag, a Pinterest wannabee...or just somewhere in between longing for a night out with dessert? Have we got a deal for you, no matter which category you find yourself in! This is the non-nerdy version of craft night for both the brave and the fearful crafters (with dessert for one and all).

Three Strands

(Leaders: Sandy Bohlen & Robin Jacobson)

We were not created to do life alone. God intended for us to have a relationship with him but also with each other. Three Strands is a Women's mentoring ministry based on the scripture Ecclesiastes 4:12: A cord of three strands is not easily broken. Scripture tells us that we are to pass what we know from generation to generation. Our goal is to prayerfully connect older and younger women together to encourage and lift one another up. Titus 2:3-5 tells us that older women should train younger women in the Word of God. For more information please contact Sandy Bohlen at

Support Groups

Surrendering the Secret: Healing the Heartbreak of Abortion

(Leader: Lisa Kinlin)

Are you one of the 50 million women that have been affected by abortion? While you might feel alone in your shame and guilt, you are not! There is hope. There is freedom. There is healing. Surrendering the Secret is a trust journey through God’s Word that allows women to release this burden and find freedom through ‘redemptive community’ while experiencing hope and joy as shame and fear are replaced with blessing and power.

Service Opportunities

Angel Project/Wedding Dress Donations

What are you going to do with your wedding dress? You don't have any daughters, nieces or friends you can pass your special dress on to? Maybe you have tried to sell it and can't get what you would like? Maybe you want to honor someone who has lost a battle with cancer? We can help. We accept donated wedding dresses of any color and transform them into final resting "kimonos" for infants who do not survive birth or surgery to be buried. Most parents are prepared to bring a child home. No one is prepared for choosing what to bury that child in. Having this option available for them alleviates some stress. Our volunteers in the Sew Blessed Ministry repurpose these beautiful dresses into kimonos which are then distributed to participating hospitals.

If you have questions regarding donating a dress, please contact Susan White at
